01What a click costs, country by country
The range advertisers bid to show at the top of Google, Google's 20th to 80th percentile, for the searches below, in each country's own currency. A click usually costs less than the high end.
| Country | Searches a month | Top of page, low | Top of page, high |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 134,900 | $3.64 | $14.81 |
| Canada | 8,600 | CA$2.19 | CA$8.69 |

02What customers type, and what to block
Google measured the three searches a customer of a house cleaning service types when ready to hire:
house cleaning service · cleaning service near me · maid service
Searches with these words in them cost the same and rarely become a client, so block them from the first day:
cleaning jobs · house cleaner salary · cleaning supplies · cleaning hacks · how to clean · start a cleaning business
03What a budget buys
In the United States, at $3.64 to $14.81 a click, and if 5 in a hundred clicks become an enquiry:
| Budget | A month | Clicks a month | Enquiries a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 a day | $304 | 21 to 84 | 1 to 4 |
| $30 a day | $912 | 62 to 251 | 3 to 13 |
| $100 a day | $3,040 | 205 to 835 | 10 to 42 |
| $300 a day | $9,120 | 616 to 2,505 | 31 to 125 |

04What works for house cleaning services
A good enquiry: a household in your area that wants regular cleaning, or a deep clean before a move or an event.
- Win the regular clients. A booking that repeats every two weeks is worth many single cleans; say what a recurring visit costs.
- Give moves their own ads. Move-in and move-out cleans are a search of their own, with a date attached.
- Show a starting price. People comparing cleaners want a number before they call.
